Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marlo Stanfield (ranked 1830 p4p, 187 weight class) and Nosyaj Rram (ranked 967 p4p, 107 weight class). Rram has chosen Grace - You Don't Own Me ft. G-Eazy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nosyaj Rram was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
